Anonymizing data in database on a server

Abstract

A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable media for anonymizing data in a database on a server. Data obtained from a vehicle is stored in a database of a server. A vehicle identification number is removed from the data in the database. At least one specific parameter included in the data in the database is changed to create anonymized data. Access to the anonymized data is provide to the user. One or more files for a simulation are created using the anonymized data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for anonymizing data in a database on server, comprising:
 storing data obtained from a vehicle in a database on a server;   removing a vehicle identification number from the data in the database; and   changing at least one specific parameter included in the data in the database to create anonymized data.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising creating one or more files for a simulation using the anonymized data. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a request for data acquisition; and   providing access to the anonymized data.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the receiving the request for the data acquisition includes receiving the request from an application programming interface (API) having access to the database on the server. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the changing the at least one specific parameter includes changing a timestamp value. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the changing the timestamp value includes changing, in a subset of data, a timestamp value of an initial frame from frames in the subset of data to make the timestamp value of the initial frame to be at time zero with subsequent frames in the subset of data having a relative offset from the initial frame. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the creating the anonymized data includes creating the anonymized data with kinematic and positional data of the vehicle, wherein the kinematic and positional data includes at least one of velocity data, acceleration data, latitude data, longitude data, orientation data, or a relative time offset. 
     
     
         8 . A device for anonymizing data in a database on a server, comprising:
 a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and   a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations to:
 remove a vehicle identification number from data in a database stored on the server; and 
 change at least one specific parameter included in the data in the database to create anonymized data. 
   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to create one or more files for a simulation using the anonymized data. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 receive a request for data acquisition; and   provide access to the anonymized data.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive the request for the data acquisition from an Application Programming Interface (API) having access to the database on the server. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one specific parameter includes a timestamp value. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the data stored in the database includes a subset of data, and wherein the processor is further configured to change the at least one specific parameter by changing a timestamp value of an initial frame from frames in the subset of data to make the timestamp value of the initial frame to be at time zero with subsequent frames in the subset of data having a relative offset from the initial frame. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to create the anonymized data by creating the anonymized data with kinematic and positional data of the vehicle, wherein the kinematic and positional data includes at least one of velocity data, acceleration data, latitude data, longitude data, orientation data, or a relative time offset. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
 storing data obtained from a vehicle in a database on a server;   removing a vehicle identification number from the data in the database; and   changing at least one specific parameter included in the data in the database to create anonymized data.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 15  further comprising creating files for a simulation using the anonymized data. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 receiving a request for data acquisition; and   providing access to the anonymized data.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one specific parameter includes a timestamp value. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 18 , wherein the changing the timestamp value includes changing, in a subset of data, a timestamp value of an initial frame from frames in the subset of data to make the timestamp value of the initial frame to be at time zero with subsequent frames in the subset of data having a relative offset from the initial frame. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 15 , wherein the creating the anonymized data includes creating the anonymized data with kinematic and positional data of the vehicle, wherein the kinematic and positional data includes at least one of velocity data, acceleration data, latitude data, longitude data, orientation data, or a relative time offset.
